The Chief Executive, Department for Housing and Urban Development is proposing to rezone land at Dry Creek to facilitate the development of a new, staged, master planned community with appropriate civil infrastructure as well as social, education, recreation, employment, commercial and retail services to support the growing population.
The Dry Creek area comprises approximately 838 hectares of land and has the capacity to accommodate approximately 10,000-15,000 new homes and 35,000 people in the future master planned community.
Dry Creek has the potential to be one of the most significant urban renewal projects in Australia, which will only be realised through a wholistic and long term approach to planning. It is intended that the Code Amendment will be informed by a structure plan that will determine land use outcomes and trunk infrastructure to provide for a staged delivery of growth over a number of years.
The location and scale of the land also enables its development to provide innovative, sustainable and cost saving solutions for potable water, recycled water, wastewater, and power services, and a broad range of housing and employment opportunities while protecting and enhancing adjacent sensitive areas.
